I'm not the one who needs help.
Allen's record may disappoint those looking for a more conservative successor to President Bush. As a Senate candidate, he supported an increase in the federal minimum wage. TAS's Washington Prowler also reported at the time that Allen did not impress a Club for Growth meeting looking for a "Reaganesque economic speech." One member said, "Allen was terrible. He was running away from every conservative issue you could think of."
Do you want a 2008 presidential nominee who "runs away from every conservative issue you could think of", even when among conservatives?
If you're an example of how the Allen camp is going to answer conservatives' legitimate questions, with snotty, juvenile personal attacks, he's doomed.
